It's still important to keep up with new languages, frameworks, and "best practices", but it's more important to ask the question how this contributes to finding another job in the future.

I've always thought about "market value" as an ever growing todo list. Keeping up with new languages, frameworks, and "best practices". Reading books about hard and soft skills. And, of course, doing all this after my jobby job is done.

While reading @cate book "The Enigneering Leader", I found a better description:

> If your job doesn't match the market in a way that will eventually make it hard for you to find another one, hopefully your employer is paying a lot of rent […] because that job is eroding your market value.

This is exactly what I'm aiming for: Being agile and delivering value faster by utilizing a healthy code base.

You can learn a ton from all kinds of practices since they aren't build for a specific tool or language. If you happen to develop for the Apple platforms I highly recommend to look into @qcoding work.

@BarbNerdy First song could be something for you. Nice DnB/Jungle tune. ☺️

Here’s a thing: I love electronic music and I like to discover new tunes. Today, I’ve listened to a new track. Somewhere in the middle, there it was: a familiar melody. I’ve heard that before. But where!?

It took me a while to identify that particular sample and remembered where I heard
It before. I even remembered the cover, but not the artist or the song.

I browsed through my collection and found the song.

My quest is complete now. 😅

And if you’re curious, that’s the new song:

and this is where I heard the sample for the first time:

Recently, I've noticed colleagues I admire and inspire me are so good in telling anecdotes to make a point. They frame their ideas in a positive and encouraging way and are willing to take tiny steps to get there.

When I noticed these behaviors, I decided to learn how to be more like my idols but I'm not sure where to start. Any recommendations?

I feel seen and I'm not sure I like it 😅.
